Well, this Smiley had rats and chickens and cats and all of them kind of things. You could not bring anything for him to risk money on. He would match you. He caught a frog one day and took him home. He said he was going to educate the frog. And so he never done nothing for three months but sit in his back yard and teach that frog to jump. And you bet you he did teach him too. He would give him a little hit from behind. And the next minute you would see that frog dancing in the air. Then he would come down all on his feet and all right, like a cat. Smiley got him so the frog was catching flies. He would catch one of those insects every time. Smiley said all a frog wanted was education. He could do almost anything. And I believe him. Why, I have seen him set Daniel Webster down here on this floor. Daniel Webster was the name of the frog. Then he would sing out, «Flies, Daniel, flies!» And quicker than you could shut your eyes that frog would jump straight up and catch a fly off the table. Then he would fall down on the floor again like a ball of dirt. He would start rubbing the side of his head with his back foot. He acted as if he had no idea he had been doing any more than any frog might do. You never seen a frog so honest and simple as he was, for all he was so skilled. And when it come to jumping, he could get over more ground in one jump than any animal of his kind that you ever saw. Smiley was very proud of his frog. People who had traveled and been everywhere all said he was better than any frog they had ever seen.
